Thanks for the link and follow up on the topic. It’s always good to hear the little details that other players notice. Hopefully I’ll be able to put some of these into action to help make our raids go just a little bit better.

And that’s a nice bouquet. You are indeed good

I'm sad that I wasn't on twitter to give my feedback! But these are all really good points. Mrs. Kestrel is very lucky - I hope my flowers look as gorgeous this Valentine's Day! Anea last blogged about Just a little whorish

Oh, I run like a little girl…but I run straight for the tank! Casters, though (in general) seem unable to grasp the concept of running to that huge group of combatants 30 yds in front of them.

I am utterly amazed how many people do run around when they have agro, like they think they can actually outrun the mob. *sigh* eresin last blogged about Scrap My Goals

“My DPS numbers aren’t going to matter if we wipe, y’know?”

Ohhh I wish about half the DPS in my raid would learn that simple truth!!

Regarding the flowers: Yes, you are good.

I think healers like me. I hope they do. I am not afraid of my healthstones, bandages, potions, and ability to drain life.

And no matter if I’m playing my ‘lock or my hunter (or any other dps alt), I always try to help pull mobs off the healer if I can. My DPS numbers aren’t going to matter if we wipe, y’know?

Amen. Just read a wonderful article on this very topic (and added the blog to my reader AND blogroll): for the bubbles: "Inspired by KT"

I’ve got two things:

(a) watch your threat meter; Blizzard built accurate threat data into the game. You can’t blame your aggro-rip on the folks who write Omen anymore.

(b) Don’t complain when you don’t get heals. I’ve got 25 bars to watch, not counting pets. I hate to break it to you, but the priority list is Tanks, other Healers, DPS. I’m not letting you die out of spite (unless you frequently break rule A, see above) but I’ve got bigger fish to fry.

Hunters: Distracting Shot + Deterrence. 5 seconds of immunity should be plenty of time for a tank to get a handle on a mob, and that’s 5 seconds it’s not eating a squishy.
